LONDON JOURNALS. (FROM THE MORNING I'APEKS OF THIS LAY.) [Morning Chronicle ] We understand that two Commissioners have arrived in Lon inn from Peru on an important Inissioti. They came over the isthmus of Panama, and by the way of Jamaica ; and letters from the latter place mention, that they are the bearers of an Exposition of the present state of the Royalist Cause in Ike Viceroyalty of Peru, since the cap tore of Chili. is supposed that a meeting of the 11Iunicipality, or the chief Inhabitants of Lima, took place, previous to their departure, and trader the : , 411C: ion of the Vice r ,v, when themeeting came. to the following determination, viz„:---That the war carrying - on by the .Royalist Chiefs tor the last five years, and constantly directed against Buenos Ayres and Chili, had almost exclusively been sup ported by the contributions of thoseintiiyiduals who had remained faithful to the interests of the 'King, owing to the exhausted state of the public tressnry, awl that the expenditure for these ob jects, and the maritime defence of the country, on 811 average, had been (vial to 200 000 dollars per month ; but that., after such long perseverance, and so many swcrifices, no substantial or perma nent good had been attained ; that in consequence of the late destruction of the Royalist Army in strung attitude in which the Patriots were placed, and the disspirited state of the public mind, owing to so many disasters, Peru was left in au awkward and toying situation, liable to an attack, and all the consequent horrors of a fruitless war, without hopes of receiving timely and adequate reinforcements from the Peninsula on account of her geographical position, the difficulties and de lay of navigating Cape Horn, and the unsuc cessful expetiMent that; had been already made to convey troops by the nearer route of tire Ist hums of Panama, in which one half had unitounly perished through the effects of the climate. That it was essential that his Catholic Majesty should be made acquainted with these facts and the real stare of the country, by persons who have been eye-witnesses of the past, and ca pable of answering any queries, or giving such infortnation as may be necessary tor the Ministers of the King to tot nt correct . ideas, and that it would be conducive to the interests of humanity, and all parties under existing circumstances, to stop, it possible, the further effusion of blood, and prevent the dreadful consequences which must at tend a disembarkation on the coasts of Peru, by the adoption of some plan of reconciliation that would at the same time restore trade, &c.--Such, sve understand, on the authority of commercial Advices, referring to letters from Lima, is the ob ject of the Commissioners alluded to, and who, it is supposed, intend shortly to set out foe Madrid. [Morning Herald.] THE' QUEEN. " Kcal, Eight &Clock, Friday a'') t. 1-Ter MAJESTY was so much better after our account was sent off last night, that Sir H. Hal ford took the opportunity of visiting his Royal Patients at Windsor. _ _ " Throughout the night her Maiesty 'continued free from pain, and slept suv-eral hours with little intermission. " Up to seven o'clock, to-night, no alteration has taken place. " The new walks, anti other improvements on 'the lawn and shrubberies proceed rapidly, under the tasteful decisions of the Princesses. Their Royal Highnesses passed several hours on the lawn, to-day, attended, as usual, by Gen. Taylor. " The Prince Regent alighted at the Palace a little before six o'clock, when the Physicians (Sir Henry Ha!ford having previously arrived from Windsor) immediately attended his Royal High ness with the evening report of her Majesty's health. His Royal Highness afterwards remain ed to dinner with the Princesses, and returned to Carlton House between eight and nine " The Countesses of Cardigan and it ircourt were among the inquirers at the Palace to-day." [Morning Post.] It Is rumoured in the American Circles that the Commercial Treaty now in progress between Gre'at Britain and the United States is in a state of great forwardness, and neatly completed. It is insinu ated, but we hope without truth, that his Majesty's Ministers intend to concede to the Citizens of the United States a permission to FISH on the coasts and shores of the British North American Settle ments. It they do, we wish to know if the sub jects of other nations are to have the same indul gence, and it his Majesty's subjects are to be al lowed to fish in the hathouts and bays of the United States. After the firm and dignified con duct pursued by the present Government on this subject in the early part of their Administration, we need not expect that such a concession would ever be made by them. But if this report is well founded, air) this impolitic indulgence is to be granted to the United States without equivalent advantages, the British Fisheries iu these seas must be given up, for it will be impossible for the Colonists or the Merchants in Great Britain now engaged in them to pursue them any longer. The private letters received from Aix-la-Cha pelle contain intelligence of some interest, and if it be correct, of some importance. It is stated in one of them " That the Emperor Alexander has caused a Note to be given into the Congress in which he requires of his august Allies, that 'Napoleon might be conducted from the Island of Sr. Helena to a mote healthy place, and insists on the moral necessity of acting with mote consi deration towards a man with whom Sovereigns have treated upon a tooting of equality, and who is allied to one of them." The Emperor of Au stria is said to have supported the demand, the result of which was not yet known. This, if true, has probably been the result of Maria Louisa's intercessions in behalf of her husband. But we strongly doubt the whole statement. It ur,fortunate, however, that we originally con sented to make linonaparte the prisoner of the Allied Powers as well as our own. To us alone he had given himself up, and had w e no t s h are d his custody with others, no one could have had 01:y right to intetiere in the manner in which „r e ' ,teased to settle the residence of otr captive. — (Mid ) October 16. Mitch has been said to endeavout to repress emi gration, that evil which drains the conntry of the chief elements of her Crength. Something too has been done, as the practice itself could not be entirely repressed, to give it a less injurious direc tion, and enable our own Colonies to benefit by the loss of population which we experience at home. This intention, we are . surry to find, is al most entirely defeated by the superior activity of the American agents, and the supineness of our own, or the want of proper persons to direct the emigrants how to act, and where to settle when hey reach our transatlantic frontiers. Thns, whatever encouragement we give them to repair to Canada, only serves to add fresh subjects to the United States, whose population inereaSe3 with sufficient rapidity, without receiving suck a con stant and po werfni accession through our means, or at least through our negligence. It is enough to see a giant grow, without administering to his strength. We cannot but consider the United States as the future rivals with whom we shall hare to contend for the trade of nations and the empire of the seas. Let us not hasten the hour when that rivalry may appear in its might, and seining for the contest, may tell us :—'‘ You have been—let the word decide who shall be." The following Extract of a Leiter from Canada shows how far the evil which we have described prevails in that State : " Montreal, Avg. 29, 1814. " Nearly 7000 Emigrants are arrived this season at Clue but I ant sure more than one half have gone to the states from this, and at Prescot. The American land-job bers have agents here to decoy them over, and there is no person on the part of our Government, or otherwise, to assist or direct them how to act, which is to be lamented, as those who have conic ant this year, are a more.• decent set of people than came in former unes."—(//iid) [The Times 3 It is very odd in an Evening Paper, first to in sert exclusively from its own Correspondent' at Aix-la-Chapelle the substance of a note wholly fictitious, attributed to the Emperor of Russia, ou the subject of Buonaparte's confinement at St. Helena, and then to disprove the existence of the note. The troth is, as we have informed our readers before, that nothing whatever on the subject of I3uonaparte has been said or written by any of tire Allied Sovereigns; and, we believe they have. (in the midst of their other more serious oc cupations) thought as little of hint as of any of the lesser rascals at present confined in Newgate or the Bicatre. He is disposed of better than he deserves ; but there, where be is, let him rest quiet. St. Helena is now found out to be an unhealthy place, that will soon kill this eminent philanthro pist, so sparing of the lives of others. Is it more unhealthy than the ditch of Vincennes, into which he cast the yet breathing body of the young and nuoffending Duke D'Enghien ? Is it more desolate and pestilential than his criminal ambition rendered the fairest portion of the fit Ids of Spain ? That he is unhappy in St. Helena we have no doubt,— g' Cc&ntn non animnm mutant, qui trans mare currant." Bat we know that till his time St. Helena was al ways reckoned a place peculiarly healthy, and of a pure air; and we know also, that to whatsoever other place he had been removed, provided there was a possibility of keeping him safe in it, that place also would have been equally slandered as unhealthy. The part of St. Helena in which Bun naparte is confined may be thought morally insa lubrious, inasmuch as it has tainted all those who come from thence with lying and impudence. But there must have beets a great predisposition to those vices already existing in the subjecp, or they never could have become so deeply infected. STATE OF FRANCE. CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND GENERAL MAISON, AT AIX-LA-CHAPELLE. The EMPEROR.—WeII, General, the evacuation of France is decided, and your country restored to her independence. I love to persuade myself that after having sliewn such fortitude in her re verses, she will not conduct herself worse under more fortunate circumstances. General MAlsoN.—Your Majesty's hopes will nor, I am sure, be disappointed. The EMPEROII.—I wish to see France for two years to come, in order to ascertain how she de means herself in the new order of things about to be established. Some persons pretend that the majority of the French desire to return to the regime which existed befote the Revolution.— What do you think ? The GENERAL.—Some persons who have been soured by misfortune, and some others who may he seduced by ambitious ideas, may have tried to extol that system, but the majority are very far front being of that opinion—quite the contrary. The ENIPEROR..--I believe it. As to myself, I am a friend to liberal ideas. I feel that nations must be delivered from arbitrary power. I have already done it in my kingdom of Poland : I shall extend the benefit to my other States. In France, what is done is irrevocable, and, if it were neces sary, new guarantees must be found against the return of the past. It is particularly necessary to prevent all attempts against national property. However, I have toll confidence in the wisdom and judgment of the King of FRANCE. I am equally persuaded that if the Prince, his brother, shall one day ascend the Throne, he would follow the same march, and maintain the constitutional institutions. This is also the opinion of the Duke of WELLINGTON. I repeat it, that I wish France to be great and strong. This is necessary to the well understood interests of all Powers. I give you my word of honour, General,•that I have no other sentiments, and you may believe me, for I ant an hottest man."—(From a Letter front Air la-Chapelle.) It is now understood that the Emperor of RUSSIA does not intend to go to Paris. The King of PRUSSIA has also, it is said, given up his in. tention of visitiug the French capital. These two Monarchs w ill return to Aix-la-Chapelle after the review of the Allied troops. HER MAJESTY.—The following Bki Hello was Issued this morning : " KEW PALACE, OCT. 17. " The QUEEN continued in a state of ease throughout yesterday, bat Her MAJESTY has passed a less comfortable night. The symptoms of Her ►?IAJESTY'S Disorder remain the same as or some time past. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD." We ,received at a late hour this day the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. Th e Moniteur copies the article from the Journal des Pcbots, of Tuesday, which e extracted yesterday, and also gives two other articles from the Journal des Maires and the Journal du Commerce, exulting in the signature of the Conveutiun for the evacuation of France, bnt they furnish no new fact u hatevcr. The fol lowing are extracts : " PARIS, OCT. I4.—The King yesterday took an airing to Argenteuil. The Douaniers of the Netherlands - have seized a part of the wines destined for the Emperor of Ritsia-, on account of an erroneous decimation as to their price. " It appears to he certain that the ISch or 20th inst. is to he the day for the review by the Em peror of Russia and the King of Prussia, alter which their troops will commence their departure. The Austrian, Bavarian, and \Virtemberg troops are not intended to be reviewed ; they will be put in march immediately for the right bank of the Rhine, from whence they will proceed to their respective destinations.—(Journal de Paris.) " From Dunkirk it is stated, that the Ilano verian artillery, and a part of the baggage, wil be embarked at that port on the 20th instant. " The Captain of a vessel recently arrived from Alexandria reports, that at his departure there were two hundred merchant ships in the har bour. The Pacha was building a frigate. We learn from Aix-la-Chapelle the 10th inst., that the Aides-de•Camp of the different Corps d'Armee had set out from thence to give orders relative to the evacuation. " The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia are to proceed to Valenciennes the 25th inst. It appears that the Emperor of Austria will not be present at the grand reviews, which arc to take place between Sedan and 111aubeuge.— ( Gazette de France.) During the period of the grand reviews there will be an open table of 300 covers. Every Com mandant will also have an open table of 100 Covers. FIVE PER CENTS. Tuesday .76f. sc. DEFORRED STOCK.

Measures are taking by the Govern ment to raise money. It is thought that this Ex pedition was the cause of _the disgrace of the three Ministers.

We have copied from a respectable lgornill Paper of this day, a paragraph, importing the Emperor ALeXANDER had presented a N°.; to his August Allies, requiring them to en nsen d to the removal of BUONAPARTE from the Isla% of ST. HELENA, to a inure healthy place , and th at the Emperor of AUSTRIA bad Second ed this Ite' qeisition; probably, as it is observed, on the in' tercession of MARIA Louisa, the Princess °II° was HlRlried w BUONAPARTE while hisfirstwife° living, and from whom he was not, and could not be' divorced, because he could offer no justifiable P leti for repudiation. We join with the Editor of the Morning Paper, in his doubts of the correctnese, of the intelligence, for if we gave cre dit to it, Iv conceive that we should offer an insult to th e uir derstandings of both of these Emperors, as ° , cannot, we should presume, but know that tell removal of the Prisoner, the Culprit tv `QY °f l e d call him, after all his atrocities, a ' e- a secure place would endanger the peace 61 : 0 security of Europe. There is n° r eason '; believe that BUONAPARTE could not be as beak": St. Helena as at any other place, if his own P ri ": obstinacy, artifice, and ambition, did not in", e fere, and if he had not hopes that it he were un( is y less restraint, a restraint absolutel essential fo r 11 1 repose of mankind, he might be able to es ca p e, 6 again embroil the world with attempts to res° 1 his usurpation over France.
